A 



WT is our intention to give in a convenient form, the 
M> Gunning Laws of the United States and Canada. 
While necessarily a summary, this book contains the 
gist of all laws in force, affecting seasons, limitations as 
to number, transportation, and non-resident requirements. 

To secure brevity, catch or Kii^i, are used for the 
more extended terms of the Statute; i. e., "Catch, kill 
destroy, injure or pursue with such intent," etc. 

Where no close season is specified, there is none. 

Transportation, sale or possession of game at any time 
when it is unlawful to kill such game, is unlawful, except 
that various States allow from four days to three weeks, 
for the sale of game, after the expiration of the open 
season for killing. 

Night shooting, and shooting of birds other than game 
birds and birds of prey, is forbidden. 

Nests and eggs of all birds (except of prey) are always 
protected. 

Snaring and netting game birds are forbidden; also 
killing in any other manner than with a shoulder gun.
